I can see how you think that; it's just a little thought-experiment
kind of thing for me, mainly, as I am learning and almost anything
that can be done will be interesting to me!

I have in mind a silly little event, where onMouseOver of an image of
a dog, say, the cursor turns into a bone...haha...it's mostly just an
exercise for me, but it should be simple and it isn't!

With luck, my browser (now based on FF's engine) will never "catch
up". If it does, I am confident that it will allow me to tell it to
ignore cursor changes (just as I can tell it to ignore status-line
changes and other similar irritations).

I'm all for user-defined look & feel, believe me...I recognize that
many of these "cutesy" little things are silly and even downright
annoying to people. I do plan on a very judicious use of it, please
believe me -- but in the here and now, it's more of a learning
exercise than anything else, why my code doesn't work (or, rather,
works so differently than it seems like it should!)....

There is nothing to be gained from interfering with the feedback that
users have got used to getting from their cursors.

It won't be site-wide, or even page-wide at that -- just over that
little image of a dog (which is, BTW, animated [gasp!] but timed via
JavaScript to "stop" after eight seconds by swapping a still-frame),
turning the cursor into a bone, with an ALT or TITLE attribute to the
<img> tag that reads "mooo" or "meow" or something....
